What about the servers you deploy to? What about the toolchain used by the upstream platform developers you depend on? What about the software powering their CI-systems?

Whatever free software they depend on, you indirectly depend on too.




Not everyone works on web applications, and I don't claim to have any knowledge of the platform that they develop with.

My point wasn't that I don't depend on free software (I absolutely do, and I do donate to the software I use every year), but that it is possible to be a developer and have very little interaction with free software.


But the projects you do depend on probably have web-pages, even if none of you are into web-development primarily.

And thus more open source dependencies unravel :)
